4.1 Keep calm and open all doors and windows to increase the rate of ventilation. Stop using all fuel-burning appliances
and ensure, if possible, that they are turned off, e.g., for gas appliances, isolate the emergency control valve.

reenter the building when the alarm has stopped. In multioccupancy and multi-story premises, ensure that all the
occupants are alerted to the risk.

inhalation is suspected.

supplier on their emergency number or the national Gas Emergency Service Provider, if appropriate, so that the
source of carbon monoxide emissions can be identified and corrected. Unless the reason for the alarm is obviously
